“Matt and Mandy,” Friend, Jan. 2011, 42 Matt and Mandy Illustrations by Shauna Mooney Kawasaki Happy New Year! Today doesn’t feel any different. Why should it? Because it’s a brand-new year! If we want today to be different, I guess we’ll have to make it different. Any ideas? Mom, don’t bother cleaning up. I’ll do it. And I’ll help! So does this year feel any different? I think it does, a bit. Happy New Year!
